Oh Mandy (apologies to Barry Manilow)
I remember all the strife,
rainin' down as cold as ice,
a dark, shadowy man,
shouting in the night-
a face on the benches,
the night goes into-
Mornin' just another day,
unhappy people pass my way.
Lookin' in their eyes,
I see a memory
I never realised
How happy you made me
Oh Mandy,
well you came and you took without givin'
but I sent you away,
Oh Mandy,
well you kissed me an stopped me from shakin'
and I need you today,
Oh Mandy.
I'm standing on the edge of time,
I've walked away when love was mine-
caught up in a world
of uphill climbin,g
The tears are in my mind
and nothin' is rhyming
Oh Mandy....etc.
Yesterday's critics
I face them all now,
credit crunch crisis
I still won't bow out but
Oh Mandy...etc.
